Cult singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt died on Christmas Day, according to an announcement from his record label, Constellation Records.
“In the few short years that we knew him personally, Vic transformed our sense of what true character, grace and determination are all about. Our grief is inexpressible and Vic’s absence unfathomable,” the announcement said.
Chesnutt’s death was confirmed a suicide, an overdose of muscle relaxants according to family spokesman Jem Cohen. He spent hours in a coma before passing with his family and friends around him, according to Tweets from his close friend and musician, Kristin Hersh.
“What this man was capable of was superhuman,” Hersh said via Twitter. Hersh has since set up a website for those wishing to donate to Chesnutt’s family to help with expenses.
Chesnutt, 45, was involved in a car accident when he was 18 and has been in a wheelchair since. Despite the odds, he solidified himself as one of the 90s most profound songwriters, with simple yet lush melodies and lyrics influenced by poets such as Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and W.H. Auden. Later in his career, his band featured members of Fugazi and Thee Silver Mount Zion.
Chesnutt released more than a dozen albums after being discovered by Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) in the late 80s and collaborated with some of music’s most famed songwriters, including Stipe, Lambchop, Elf Power, Widespread Panic, Van Dyke Parks and Thee Silver Mount Zion.
In 1992, Chesnutt was the subject of a PBS documentary called “Speed Racer: Welcome to the World of Vic Chesnutt”In 1996, a tribute album called Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation—The Songs of Vic Chesnutt was released featuring covers of Chesnutt’s songs by Madonna, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage, Sparklehorse, Indigo Girls and many others.
Chesnutt (born James Victor Chesnutt in Jacksonville, Fla.) was adopted and raised in Zebulon, Ga. where his grandfather taught him guitar. His accident in 1983, while driving drunk, left him a paraplegic.
“It was only after I broke my neck and even like maybe a year later that I really started realizing that I had something to say,” Chesnutt told Terry Gross of the public radio show, Fresh Air.
He moved to Athens, Ga. shortly after, which remained his home with his wife, Tina Whatley Chesnutt, until his death.
An interview with the Los Angeles Times’ music blog, Pop and Hiss, earlier this month provided a haunting look into Chesnutt’s reality, particularly as he faced $70,000 in hospital bills from surgeries over the years.
“I’m not too eloquent talking about these things,” Chesnutt told Pop and Hiss. “I was making payments, but I can’t anymore and I really have no idea what I’m going to do. It seems absurd they can charge this much. When I think about all this, it gets me so furious. I could die tomorrow because of other operations I need that I can’t afford. I could die any day now, but I don’t want to pay them another nickel.”
“Flirted With You All my Life” is a haunting country song about Chesnutt’s brushes with the after-life.
“I’ve been a suicidal person all my life, and that song is me finally being ‘Screw you, death,’ ” Chesnutt said.
Hersh elaborated on her relationship with Chesnutt on her website, saying how deep his disability ran in his life, despite his rise to cult celebrity.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to listen to his music again, but I know how vital it is that others hear it,” Hersh wrote. “When I got the phone call I’d been dreading for the last fifteen years, I lost my balance. My whole being shifted to the left; I couldn’t stand up without careening into the wall and I was freezing cold. I don’t think I like this planet without Vic; I swore I would never live here without him. But what he left here is the sound of a life that pushed against its constraints, as all lives should. It’s the sound of someone on fire. It makes this planet better.
“And if I’m honest with myself, I admit that I still feel like he’s here, but free of his constraints. Maybe now he really is huge. Unbroken. And happy.”
